      we need something free and open, instead of moving from being dominated by one country to being dominated by another country

      Isn’t HarmonyOS closed? I’d rather not jump from a bad ship to a worse one

        It is like Android, mixed source. Android is based on the open source AOSP project. HarmonyOS is based on the open source OpenHarmony project. Kaihong has released laptops that uses its own OpenHarmony distribution.

          Closed = very bad

          Android is open source, so you can at least make your fork and find a way to load it on phones that support bootloader unlocking, while harmony is closed so you cannot do that which is objectively worse

            As others have said harmony is setup exactly the same as android, open source OS on which a closed source customized flavor is built. It’s exactly as bad or not bad as android is in this regard. The flavor being in control of a Chinese corporation instead of an American one is another issue.

            That’s reasonable thank you. I suppose I always took androids open source nature to be largely “theoretical”(?) given googles controlling stake and simply the nature of the mobile market where effectively every android device is running googles proprietary version. HarmonyOS is in reality in the same boat given it has OpenHarmony in parallel to HarmonyOS in the same way AOSP is parallel to Android.

    I mean… yeah? US blocked sales of damn near every US component to Huawei. What else were they going to do besides not use US components?

      The point here, which evidently went over your head, is that China now has the technological capability and supply chains to produce cutting edge electronics domestically end to end. No other country, including the US itself, is able to do that.

        Oh good grief why are you always so combative? I’m well aware that it’s clearly an accomplishment - but it’s also their only option besides go out of business so I don’t know what the US expected to happen.

        Also erm… no, they aren’t end-to-end domestically produced:

        The South China Morning Post noted Huawei is reducing reliance on advanced foreign semiconductor equipment

        More interestingly, while the Kirin is considerably less dependent on US or Western tech, it doesn’t remove it from the equation entirely, and you still have to look closely at the bill of materials for receipts.

        SMIC’s process, however, still leverages ASML immersion scanners.

        They’re getting there, but if we go by what’s in the article they don’t have that capability yet.

          Your original comment essentially read like a bad reddit style anti-china argument. Like, “these dumb chinese people would have never figured out to do this if the US didn’t force them to! No need to give those asians any credit!”

          It is now obvious you wrote it from the perspective of “duh, why is anyone in the west acting surprised? They literally have no other option besides dying”

            OP has a long history of being incredibly hostile (bordering on abusive) to any perceived criticism - I assume this is why they interpreted “my lack of surprise at an almost tautological result” as somehow being criticism of Huawei or China.

              Yeah but when you come in with a tone that is based on previous interactions rather than the current one, anyone who doesn’t know the previous context is going to see you as the combatative and the other commenter as just matching your energy.

              Edit: Note that I don’t think your original tone is the issue here, but how you acted like they were out of line for returning the energy felt very… tone deaf.

                I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m following what you mean. I agree about my first comment (which I very much did not intend to be combative or critical of Huawei) - I think it’s pretty clear it was too easy to misinterpret, but OP initially replied to me with an unwarranted degree of defensiveness / hostility which I then subsequently called out. I’m not sure I understand how that was me acting like they were out of line for returning the energy; they brought the energy which I then, to a less harsh extent, returned.

                  They did aim theirs more directly at you but that first time I read the exchange it did feel like yours had a similar (though less stated) contempt for OP. I can see now that you didn’t necessarily intend that tone to be directed at OP but rather about the situation itself, but that misinterpretation did feel like it was setting a hostile stage that OP’s reply wasn’t an excessive escalation over.

                  And my last edit was just to say that even if you had intended that snark, it wasn’t (IMO) an unacceptable amount to begin with, but then commenting on the hostility in the response (which I agree wasn’t harsh itself) felt like you were playing the victim because someone fought back in a fight you started.

                  Btw, this isn’t an attempt to shame you or make you feel bad or anything. I’m only engaging with you about this because you did seem to be asking about the hostility in good faith and I could see why both of you were getting so many downvotes and upvotes from that exchange. Though not sure how useful my analysis will be here, considering it all started from a misinterpreted comment in the first place rather than intended hostility lol.

      embroiled

      Anyone and any company can get ‘embroiled’ in anything.
      All it takes is accusing you of being a thief a pedo or whatever.
      And there you have Brkdncr ‘embroiled’ in a pedo case.

      This is nothing but the US sore losers using dirty tricks because they can’t compete in the free market they love so much.
      Always with this excuse or national security/espionage.
      Pathetic

      Weird how this is not the case. You could begin by citing court cases and verdicts.
